Bystander CPR is crucial in rare instances of sudden cardiac arrest in children, say experts

A 10-year-old boy on the baseball diamond goes into cardiac arrest while rounding the bases. A middle schooler falls unresponsive to the floor while sitting in class. A high school football player collapses after being struck in the chest. About 2,000 young, seemingly healthy people under the age of 25 die annually of sudden cardiac arrest.
